Florida Golf Vakantie

Inverness, FL 01/31/2012 —— All prices were fetched from the official golf course websites. What really determines the price in any golfers opinion (or better said : What am I willing to pay …) is the condition of the golf course. A few courses in the area are in very good conditions and some are not. Talk to your golf buddies and ask them their honest opinion about any of the below listed golf courses.

Skyview, Oaks and Meadows

Lakeside

Citrus Springs

Julliette Falls

El Diablo

Twisted Oaks

Gezien het zeer mooie weer in Florida verbaasd het mij dat er enkele banen toch in ‘slechte’ conditie verkeren. Dit weekend hebben wij 2 banen in de omgeving gespeeld, El Diablo en StoneCreek. Met El Diablo heb ik altijd een haat liefde verhouding, vanwege de moeilijkheids graad van de baan en het daardoor een uitdaging vindt om daar goed te spelen, maar de conditie van de baan laat vaak te wensen over. StoneCreek staat hoog op mijn favoriete lijst, omdat die altijd in zeer goede conditie is, mooi clubhuis en goedkope green fees heeft (ook in het weekend)

El Diablo, fairways en teebox in redelijke conditie, greens zijn in top conditie en zeer snel. (green fee $ 28)

StoneCreek, fairways, tee box en greens in top conditie . (green fee $ 32.50)

P.s. op weg naar StoneCreek reden wij langs Candler Hills en die ziet er ook zeer goed uit. We hoorde ook zeer goede berichten over de conditie van Julliette Falls en Skyview ligt er zoals altijd helemaal top bij.

* informeer even bij de pro-shop van deze golfbanen vwb de greenfees, aangezien veel banen in de omgeving stunten met prijzen.

* En voor jullie in NL, het is hier de laatste 3 jaar nog nooit zo mooi weer geweest in Januari, fantastisch golf weer ……

Here is a nice note from the Twisted Oaks General Manager :

Email 3

Mr. Detiger,

I appreciate the response and we are aware of the conditions of the greens,  unfortunately from the neglect over the past few years the greens are slowly transitioning.  We expect full coverage by the middle of July and hopefully never run into these issues that have scared our reputation.  We are now using a proper agronomic plan and course conditions will continue to improve.

Thanks again for your response and like I said we are working hard to get Twisted Oaks back to a competitive playing condition, I just ask for your patience during this time.

Best Regards Blake Sampson
General Manager

Yes I do as always, but …….  By when do you think you have the greens fixed ? The course has a wonderful layout and we all like playing there, but the greens are awful. The fairways are far more better then 6 – 7 months ago, we have seen a significant improvement, now if you could only get the greens up to the level of Skyview or Lakeside …..

We have a large Dutch following on our blog http://floridagolfvakantie.com/blog/ and we report all kinds of tee time deals and golf course reviews … And our followers like the setup of your course, but stayed away from courses like Twisted Oaks, Pine Ridge and El Diablo due to the poor course condition(s).

So hopefully you can get the greens in fabulous condition before they all return from Europe this fall.

With kind regards,Met vriendelijke groet,
Ronald H. Detiger

Golf vrienden,

Mocht U besluiten El Diablo te spelen in de komende dagen/weken dan zou ik aanraden een alternatief te zoeken. Helaas verkeerd de baan in niet zo’n best conditie, hopelijk verbeterd het snel. Erg zonde ….
